/a/ - Animu & Mango

I've been wanting to replay Mountain of Faith for awhile. I beat 16 was kind of let down so I might just go back to the classics. DDC is the only 'modern' game that I like.

>>789759

And why haven't you done that yet, anon?

>>789760

Been busy with other things. Plus when I think of Momiji I get demoralized. She's legitimately the only boss in Touhou that I can't figure out and she's a fucking mid-boss.

I've played some "The Disappearing of Gensokyo" recently. The character models are cute and the gameplay is solid, though some trash packs are pretty unfair at hard or higher difficulty.

>>789771

I really hate games that have very elaborate animations that you can't speed up or turn off. I've been playing Wizardry Tale of the Forsaken Land, a Japanese spin-off of the original series, recently and it gets really annoying since things like spell animations take 30 seconds per spell. It makes it more of a chore to farm than it would be normally.

>>789776

I got bored super fast of dissapearing because I thought the hitboxes were pretty bad. I can't deal with a danmaku game with shit hitboxes.

Was playing Eiyuu Senki about a month ago. Got to the secret final boss stages and decided enough was enough since even the pawns had 9,000HP while my average was barely 5,000.

>>789757

>Remember to keep it /jp/.

Was Pop Team Epic enough to make the Elder Scrolls /jp/ or will I have for the Chio-chan anime? Either way, I hate those games but at I still keep coming back to them.

I'm playing some Doom mods right now, but I have Alundra, Saga Frontier 2 and Star Ocean 2 in the pipeline.

>Windows and Android plebeians

Disgusting.

>>789771

Disgaea is so good that it's the only reason I'm waiting for that PS3 emulator. The big problem, though, is that the first clearly had the best characters, but the second had a way better gameplay.

Why not go to /v/?

>>789979

>Disgaea is so good that it's the only reason I'm waiting for that PS3 emulator. The big problem, though, is that the first clearly had the best characters, but the second had a way better gameplay.

You can play the first two games on steam.

As for myself, I am playing Trails in the Sky, quite a good game, I like the characters and the combat.

Should I try to make some webms of different PSX JRPG anime intros to keep it more /a/ related?

>>790008

Vivec is not a trap though, he's a confirmed full package futa.

Elona! Fun times then, fun times now.

Back when I was in the mental hospital they allowed me to listen to one song in 14 days. I picked this one and it's what kept me going the rest of my stay.

This song is the peak of Mountain of Faith. It's comfy, it's cheerful, and it gives you those autumn vibes. ZUN really knocked it out of the park with MoF.

Patiently waiting for FoBS to get an update.

>>789994

If you want, you'll have a lot of games to choose from.

>>790013

The games have an inverse difficulty curve once you preferred team and understand what you need to do to maximize damage. Is that series even popular in Japan or is it just advertised everywhere?

>>790101

It sold over 550 thousand units in Japan so pretty damn popular

Checks out

>>790015

I don't even know where to start with Elona. It's arcane and weird on a level only rivaled by Dwarf Fortress and self-published Japanese eroguro games.

>>790113

Fuck me, I had that set for the meido drive. I forgot to turn it off.

>>790114

Check out this guy's Elona tutorials, it is what made understand how to play the game.

>>790164

The Xenogears intro is phenomenal. Here's one of my personal favourites, although I'm waiting until my Japanese skills are better to play this game since this song was cut from the western versions.

>>790170

Valkyrie Profile is a great game overall, I wish this opening was in the PSP version too.

This one's from a bit later, but it's my favourite song of all time.

>>790164

I left off at the second disc and it starts to show really fast. It's a shame, but I'm planning on powering through it eventually.

SRW counts, right?

>>790299

>Wouldn't keeping it /jp/ limit the thread to pretty much just 2hu and 2hu spinoffs?

RPG Maker games, Elona, Kancolle, VNs and more, have always been discussed in /jp/.

I would even say that AAA Japanese games are ok in this thread, they are theoretically part of Otaku culture and were only not allowed on Half-chan because of /v/.

>>789759

I'm worried about 2hu. I also dislike the modern games, I am afraid that the series will go downhill after I missed the high point. I hope it doesn't die, but I'm not exactly excited for new games.

>>789936

I loved that game, it's perfect. I genuinely have no faults or ideas for improvement.

>>790111

I'm just curious, trap, tranny, hermaphrodite or absolutely nothing because it's an angel.

>>790376

>Aya Hirano

>an angel

>>789820

Your favourite must be 6.

Finally, last thread like this was years ago, I believe it had a picture of madotsuki with two traffic lights.

>>789990

The vols and BO somehow find a way to make the board worse (banning people by IP so you get one shitpost deleted and more than then actual posts deleted too thus threads with actual discussions have a chunk of the thread missing, vols who only do their work when a post or thread gets reported, banning people because they vols didnt knew something from an actual videogame was posted, meta threads being completely useless, etc) the user base is not innoceint either, you can tell the posts are becoming worse as time goes on.

>>790376

I hope its just a girl, just to see how would trapfags react.

>>790415

That would work too. I wonder what her route will mean though. I can't see it being much different to the normal one if its just a girl. Full bodied makes me think both. Angels are supposedly androgynous too.

>>790416

>STGs

Where I come from we call those shmups.

>>790433

Speaking of PoFV...

I recently played through Dragon Quest 1. Now I'm on 2.

Working my way to 3 so I can watch this.

>>790436

>That voice and song style

????

>>790180

Damn, that was good. Is the game worth it?

>>790466

Playing DQ 1 through 3 (the SNES remakes) was one of the best video game experiences of my life. It finally made me understand why japs like DQ so much. Playing DQ2 on the NES back when it came out must have blown so many tiny japanese minds, it's really not a surprise you can still feel DQ's influence on games to this day (even on stuff like Dark Souls and Breath of the Wild).

>>790470

Only tales game I ever really liked was Symphonia, but some people love Tales games.

I got the japanese voice patch and tried to play through Abyss a couple years ago but at some point the game started to punish me heavily for not having grinded, and I didn't feel like grinding or min-maxing more than I already was so I just stopped.

Someone who knows Tales games better than I do could probably recommend a good starting point for you if you never played any of them.

>>790488

What's phantasia's strong point?

>>789863

>Eiyuu Senki

Thanks for letting me know this existed anon, this is pretty much sengoku rance on steroids.

>>790494

I'm gonna have to say, the characters, voice acting in the JP version is pretty good.

>>790500

It's time to find some dye and get greative if you want your litte sister to have her womb to be normal sized for the rest of your playthrough, or else alien lifeforms are gonna get out of hand in that you town you are using as a stronghold

>>790494

Overall just a really well polished game in the series. Enjoyable characters, engaging plot, fun battle system, large world with a lot of content.

>>790500

I keep hearing about this. Is it necessary to play the first one to play the +/custom one?

>>790530

Here's a guide to help you.

>>790535

>Sseth

This man never fails to make me laugh.

>>789761

i can do her pattern but I need to practice it more but MoF has no practice.

>>790488

The PS3 version has an english patch so if any anons who can't understand nip yet and have a PS3 that's hacked it is pretty easy to put it on. With the new exploit a lot of PS3s became exploitable.

>>790321

Are you saying that the latest Cup Noodle Fantasy also counts?

>>790790

For what it's worth, I made almost every exact fuck up you did, and after I learned from those mistakes, the game became a lot more fun. Is your little brother the one who has Sakuya for a waifu?

>>790819

I think part of the fun of the game is learning and figuring out the tricks and the mechanics. The tutorial gives you the basics and asks you to do the rest.

Working on my DDC 1cc.

Got up to the musical bitch and then got fucked.

>>790096

>Patiently waiting for FoBS to get an update.

Why do people do this, just leave it for like a year or so and explore all the new stuff at once. It's not like there's any shortage of games coming out.

Running through Legend of Mana again and remembering that before I get to that sweet JRPG center I have to deal with these fucking ruins. I hate these ruins.

>>789757

I still haven't passed ESoD.

>>791036

Move on from it and try a different 2hu game if it's giving you grief.

>>791041

He could probably try MoF or IN since those are on the easier side.

>>791044

>IN

>Easy.

Marisa/Reimu will fuck your shit up if you aren't careful and Reisen is a cunt.

>>790435

She looks like Ikari Shinji in drag.

>>791051

It's kind of dumb for me to call it easy but I've always considered it easier since you can still get the normal end with continues. Though good luck to anyone who tries beating the extra stage if they couldn't 1cc the regular stages

>>791122

I'm glad there were nips asking for a PC port on some of the PVs on Nico. Hopefully they'll release one eventually.

4.1 was great and 5 looks like a straight upgrade but I'm not dumb enough to buy a console in the current year.

>>791129

Huh, I never noticed their pupils.

>>791133

Personally, I wouldnt have bothered with a PS4 if I hadnt found for an excellent deal (merely 100 bucks used). I usually prefer playing japanese vidya on handhelds (mainly NDS, PSP and Vita)

I also originally played EDF 4.1 on PC, but EDF5 is a straight-up improvement when it comes to sharing loot to all classes after missions (thus drastically reducing the grinding). It's hard to come back in edf 4.1 after this.

>>798659

Name a spell Nagasaki

>>799152

Seeing images like that motivate me to study even more nihongo.

I enjoy the modern toohoos and LoLK is my favorite entry of the entire series

Hecatia is perfection

>>799156

>LoLK best.

>Not IN or MoF.

No.

>>799168

MoF has the most boring mechanics, easiest bosses, worst girls and worst extra boss

>>799215

Yeah, but it has this song and Nitori in it.

Checkmate, faggot.

>>799211

Is the game good? I saw some screenshots of it earlier and it reminded me of Desperados, which is basically the same but in the wild west.

>>799234

Different Anon but I found it to be really fun. It's one of the few actually good stealth games and probably one of the best games to come out in recent memory.

>>799220

Neetori a shit

>>799234

5 missions in and it's starting to feel dreadful.

The subtitles can be quite terrible at times with them obviously not matching what the speaker is saying.

I'm mostly disappointed in the lack of immersion. The artstyle is cartoonish and too colourful. It's missing that dark and grity ultra-realistic feel of the Commandos series. It's too bad because a game like that set in medieval Japan would have been so, so good.

Maybe I'm shitting on it because it didn't line up to my expectations, but oh well. Gonna play it for a few more to see if anything changes.

Gradius, Batsugun, Cho Ren Sha 68k, Typing of The Dead.

I could probably 1cc typing of the dead if it weren't for those stupid questions

Granblue fantasy gives me a boner in my pants as well as a boner in my heart.

>>802215

I just hope the next game isn't on the Switch.

>>802216

>GBF

I played it for one summer after someone mentioned it here on /a/ and the grind put me off once I started to get higher in level, at least I now have enough context for all the doujins groups are making for it now.

>>790164

> Neon Genesis Evanghelion Xenogears the Undub

Xenogears is G Gundam with Jesus you pleb.

Playing Touhou 4 at the moment. I also recently downloaded Disgaea and MH Portable 3rd for my PSP. Sadly, MH didn't work and I had to switch to Freedom Unite...

>>802261

Magna is a shit. I got completely burnt out doing the magna grind last year and quit playing until this week. Once you get your magna gird complete you can relax a lot though. Play once a day the current event, fiddle with your team comp, and and tweak your grid. There is a ton of side stories from old events now that you can play AP free. They reaaly try to bait you into burning your crystals but if you hold off you can spark easily enough. They have free draw and give away events every couple of months.

But really I just like the stories. It's a mobage gacha scam but the characters are fun as fuck and you just enjoy seeing them go around and do their shit. One of my favorite characters, the Draphtective, has an event coming up in the next couple of days and I am hype as fuck.

>>802261

>I just hope the next game isn't on the Switch.

Isn't it getting a dual release? Or something.

>>802274

>There is a ton of side stories from old events now that you can play AP free

That's what got me bored with it, I wasn't going to give a cent to the mobage and instead of waiting for my AP to replenish I just went and played other stuff.

>Draphtective

I don't know who that is, I stopped playing around the time the Cerberus event first came out.

>>802406

They are announcing some stuff tomorrow for the 3ds and the switch so I'm hoping they'll be talking about it there.

>>802413

>They are announcing some stuff tomorrow for the 3ds and the switch so I'm hoping they'll be talking about it there.

More importantly, SQ3U or SQVI?

>>802417

Since it's been a few years since the last remake I'm going to bet 3U.

>>802512

Yeah, that's my bet as well. 3 was my favorite entry in the series. The only thing I dislike about the 新 games is the pre-made characters. Excited anyway.

Recently "finished" Faraway Story for the second time.

It really fells like one of the old SNES/PS1 era JRPGS, the characters are likeable and the story is good, albeit it does need a bit of time to get going.

The combat is similar to the SNES action JRPGS, but it plays more fluently, and has a much bigger focus on magic and items.

My only big complaint is that the game isn't finished and the last release is more than 3 years old.

It's like playing a FF game to the middle only to get a "to be continued" waived in your face.

I would really recommend playing the game on the highest difficulty.

Some opptional content doesn't scale with the difficulty levels, meaning that there are difficulty bumps, if you aren't playing on the highest difficulty level.

I also finished it both times on the highest difficulty, and the game isn't particularly hard.

>>803380

With you running an item shop it reminds me of Atelier or Recettear.

>>789936

I loved this game
